FRESH NECTARINE AND GREEN GRAPE PIE
This is my favorite dessert to make. Can make several hours ahead and
substitute other fruit, jam, flavorings. Good with Cool Whip or whipped cream,
flavored with cinnamon..
1 baked 9-inch pie shell (pref. deep-dish)
1-1/2 teas. (or one pkg.) unflavored gelatin
7 or 8 fresh nectarine or peach halves, peeled
1 cup apricot jam (good quality low-cal is OK)
1 cup or more seedless green grapes
1/4 cup sherry
Let pie shell cool. Place nectarines, cut side down, in shell. Arrange grapes
around them.
Make glaze: Soften gelatin by sprinkling over two tablespoons cold water, let
stand. Gently heat jam in small saucepan. Add gelatin mixture, stirring to
dissolve. Stir in sherry.
Pour glaze over fruit in shell. Let stand in refrigerator until set, about 4
hours. Remove shortly before serving to take off chill.
